Infiniti G-series (Q40/Q60)

The Infiniti G-series[1] is a line of compact executive car produced by Infiniti, a luxury division of
Nissan for the 1991–1996 and 1999–2016 model years. The first two generations of the Infiniti G (P10
Infiniti G
and P11) were sedans based on the Nissan Primera. Beginning with its third generation (V35), the
Infiniti G have been rebadged versions of the Nissan Skyline line of sedans and coupes that were
exported to the United States and Canada. The current incarnation is the fourth generation (V36) which
introduced the hardtop coupe convertible. The Nissan FM platform, on top of which the third and
fourth generations (V35 and V36) of the Infiniti G have been built, also underpins the Nissan 370Z and
has shared components with the Infiniti M, Infiniti EX, and Infiniti FX.

In May 2013, Infiniti announced a new naming convention beginning with the 2014 model year; all
passenger cars are designated by the letter "Q," while sport-utility model names will begin with "QX."
Infiniti G37X (V36, US)
The Infiniti G was to have been replaced by the Infiniti Q50, but the G37 was revived as the Q40
beginning with the 2015 model year. Overview

The Infiniti G20 was Infiniti's entry-level luxury car in the United States from 1990 to 2002, with a Dimensions
two-year hiatus for model years 1997 and 1998, in which the Infiniti I30 became their entry-level car. It Wheelbase 100.4 in (2,550 mm)
was a rebadged version of the Nissan Primera sedan, primarily designed for the European market. It
was launched in September 1990 as Infiniti's first small car as an entry-level alternative to the Q45; later Length 1993.5: 174.8 in (4,440 mm)
advertisements in 1998 for the second-generation G20 emphasized its European heritage with the tag 1990-93 & 1994-96: 175 in
line "Born in Japan. Educated in Europe. Now Available in America." Two generations of the G20 (4,400 mm)
exist in the United States, the HP10 (P10), built from 1990 to 1996, and the HP11 (P11), built from Width 66.7 in (1,690 mm)
1998 to 2002. All G20s were front-wheel drive and were built in Oppama, Japan. The exterior and
Height 1993.5: 54.7 in (1,390 mm)
interior designs of the P10 were styled by Mamoru Aoki in 1987.[2]
1990-93: 54.9 in (1,390 mm)
The G20 was first unveiled to Infiniti dealers at the 1989 New York International Auto Show 1994-96: 53.5 in (1,360 mm)
(appearing to the public at the 1990 show), with the first series production example being assembled on Curb weight 2,535 to 2,818 lb (1,150 to
July 10, 1990. The final 1996 G20 was rolled off the assembly line on July 19, 1996. The P10 featured
1,278 kg)
the first application of Nissan's multi-link front suspension in a front-wheel-drive car, with an
independent MacPherson strut setup in the rear. It came standard with a 5-speed manual transmission. The only options to begin with were an automatic
transmission, leather interior, and a power glass moonroof; a Touring package (labeled G20t) was introduced in 1994 and featured a black leather interior
with sport front bucket seats and fold-down rear seats, as well as a limited-slip differential in the transmission and a spoiler on the rear decklid.

Engine design

The G20 was powered by the SR20DE Inline 4-cylinder. It was a transversely-mounted dual overhead cam naturally aspirated reciprocating internal
combustion engine. Displacement was 2.0 L (1,998 cc) with a square bore × stroke ratio of 86 mm × 86 mm (3.39 in × 3.39 in). This engine was also
shared with the US-spec Nissan Sentra/Nissan 200SX SE-R, Nissan NX2000, and a host of non-US Nissan vehicles. The particular version used in the
G20 produced 140 hp (104 kW) crank in the US at first, and 145 hp (108 kW) in '00+ editions (116 to 126 bhp (87 to 94 kW); stock range) and 132 or
136 lb⋅ft (179 or 184 N⋅m) of torque (111 to 120 lb⋅ft (150 to 163 N⋅m); stock range). These engines were also fairly high-revving with a redline of
7500 rpm for 1991 through 1996 models, 6950 rpm for the 1999 model, and 6750 rpm for 2000-2002 models. Due to the SR20DE engine's flexibility,
reliability, fuel economy and high power-handling capabilities, as well as a low buy-in cost, pre-owned NX2000, SE-R powered Sentras/200SXs and
G20s have become popular and prominent in the "tuner" or "import scene" subculture.

There were three major variants of the SR20DE used in the G20. The first, used from July 1990 to December 1993, was the highport, in which the
injectors and fuel rail were located above the intake plenum. In January 1994, due to tightening emissions restrictions, Nissan switched to a lowport
design, in which the injectors and fuel rail switched places with the intake plenum. This design also featured a milder intake camshaft. (Switching it out
for the highport intake cam is a popular upgrade to gain more power.) This design was used from 1994 to 1996 and again in 1998. In 1999 Nissan
replaced the valvetrain with a roller-rocker arm lifter design in place of the hydraulic rocker arm previously used, but kept the lowport intake design;
many performance parts are not interchangeable between roller-rocker and highport/lowport engines, most notably camshafts.

Transmission

The G20 featured either a 5-speed manual transmission or an optional 4-speed automatic. Most front wheel drive transmissions from other SR-powered
cars can be used with few modifications. The stock transmission as well as other SR20 transmissions are often upgraded with various modifications in
order to handle more power. Common manual transmission modifications include cryo treating, shot peening, transmission case welding, aftermarket
limited slip differential, aftermarket axles, and upgraded clutches. Common automatic transmission modifications include built valve bodies, aftermarket
torque converters, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) coolers, additional ATF filters, and aftermarket TCUs. Higher rated transmission swaps from front-
wheel drive VQ or QR25DE powered cars such as the 2002–2006 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V have also been performed.[3]

Equipment

The G20 was a badge-engineered version of the Nissan Primera, but because Infiniti was pitched as a premium brand, it featured a high level of
equipment compared to its European and Japanese relatives. The only engine available was the 2.0 litre SR20DE Inline 4-cylinder; in Europe this was
the top-of-the-line engine for the Primera lineup. 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions were both available, with the 5-speed being
praised as "one of the best in the business."[4] Power windows, power locks, power mirrors, air conditioning, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, alloy
wheels, a Bose stereo, a theft-deterrent system, cruise control, floor mats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob were all standard.
Heated mirrors, leather seats and a power moonroof were common options, and were later offered in a package that included power seats and keyless
entry. Later models also featured dual front airbags. The standard trim was called Luxury. Two major trim package upgrades were offered: Touring,
badged G20t, available from model years 1994 to 1996 and 1999 to 2001, and Sport (with no badge modification) which was offered during model year
2002. These packages featured a limited-slip differential in the transmission, sportier, more highly bolstered front bucket seats and fold-down rear seats,
all-black leather interior, fog lamps, and a spoiler on the rear decklid. The details of these trims varied from year to year.

P10 model refresh changes

Introduced at the 1993 New York Auto Show, the main changes for the P10 came as a midyear refresh in April 1993 (model year 1993.5), when dual
airbags replaced motorized seatbelts, leather interiors came standard with power front seats, matte-black side moldings were replaced by body-colored
ones, the refrigerant was converted from R12 to R134a, the audio system was upgraded to six speakers with a CD player instead of the previously-
standard cassette deck, and other new options such as remote keyless entry were added. In February 1994, the 1994 model year was given a new larger
chrome-plated grille and door handles, a lowport engine (replacing the original highport SR20DE, in which the intake plenum is below the fuel injectors
and fuel rail), a change in the vehicle's self-diagnostic system to OBD-II, and larger 195/65R14 tires. The Touring models, introduced in February 1994,
featured a limited-slip differential in the transmission; 195/65R14 Yokohama tires, sportier, more highly bolstered black leather front bucket seats and
fold-down rear seats; fog lights; and a spoiler on the rear decklid.[5]

The G20 was temporarily discontinued after the 1996 model year, leaving the I30 as Infiniti's lowest-priced car for the 1997 & 1998 model years.

Second generation (P11; 1998)

The second-generation G20 underwent several changes, G20 (P11)
including adopting the multi-link beam rear suspension very
similar to the 1995–1999 Nissan Maxima with a continued use
of the independent multi-link strut front suspension of the P10
(similar to the 300ZX and Skyline GT-R). Despite enthusiasts'
aversion to the beam, several publications praised the updated
G20,[4] as a technically good method of avoiding lateral
1999 Infiniti G20
suspension movement (which would compromise handling)
while still offering a compliant ride.[6] The P11 has a lateral grip
figure of between 0.80 and 0.94g and a 61% front/39% rear
weight distribution. It grew in size, with a 2.7-inch (69  mm) Overview
length increase and 0.4-inch (10  mm) height increase over the Also called Nissan Primera
P10, resulting in 1.4 inches (36 mm) more legroom for rear-seat Nissan Primera Camino
passengers.[4] The new model's increased size and luxury

January 11, 2002, and the G20 slowly phased out during the first quarter of 2002, in being replaced by
the 2003 model year rear-wheel drive G35 sports sedan. All models featured a higher level of standard Powertrain
equipment than the P10, including automatic climate control on all but cloth-seat Luxury models, 15" Engine Gasoline:

G20t's limited slip differential and decklid spoiler, this model featured two-tone leather/suede sport seats, 16" wheels, and a variety of minor cosmetic
modifications. The 2002 base G20 received the 12-spoke Touring alloy wheels as standard.

End of production

The G20 was discontinued in favor of the rear wheel drive Infiniti G35, a badge engineered export version of the JDM V35 Nissan Skyline which was
introduced in Japan in 2001. The G35 received significant praise from the automotive press and became a sales success for Infiniti despite being priced
approximately US$7,000 above the G20's average MSRP of $23,000. The G35, significantly larger and more powerful than the G20, was aimed more
at the entry level premium-sports sedan market instead of the G20's premium-sport compact market. The Nissan Primera was continued outside the
United States in a lightly restyled model, followed by the all-new P12 Primera with a final end of production in 2006 as a 2007 model.

Third generation (V35; 2002)

The third generation G (V35) was unveiled in June 2001 and G35 (V35)
released to North America for the 2003 model year, as the G35
on March 12, 2002. It had little in common with the Infiniti
G20, and continued in the same tradition as the original Infiniti
M and the J30, which were also RWD models utilizing the
same drivetrain as contemporary Nissan Zs. According to
Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan Motors, the letter G was chosen
Infiniti G35 sedan
"for marketing purposes and its similarity in sound to the letter
J", apparently in deference to the Infiniti J30. Hiroshi
Hasegawa designed both the sedan (frozen in 1998) and coupé
(finalized in late 2000), with the former being previewed as the

TS AWD system. The system will make the car 100% rear wheel drive when driving at a steady speed. 6MT)[9]
When the driver uses the throttle to accelerate from a stop or constant speed, the AWD system can send
up to 50% of torque to the front wheels. When the car's speed becomes steady again, the drivetrain will return torque to the rear wheels. The AWD
system will also transfer torque to the front wheels if the system detects loss of traction. This technology was first used in the 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R,
and has since been used in subsequent Skylines, and other vehicles in Japan and overseas, including the Nissan Bluebird, and Nissan Stagea.
There are
few differences between the 2003 & 2004 G35 coupes. Both '03 & '04 six-speed manual models had the option of Brembo brakes and the Performance
Tire and Wheel Package. On the 2005 coupes, three new colors, 'Athens Blue', 'Lakeshore Slate', and 'Serengeti Sand', replaced 'Twilight Blue',
'Caribbean Blue', and 'Desert Platinum' respectively; also, the Willow Cloth interior option was removed, and Stone leather became available.

The Infiniti G35 was successfully campaigned in drifting by Team Falken. In the United States, Calvin Wan's twin-turbo G35 won him numerous
Formula DRIFT accolades during its 2004-2007 life cycle, while in Europe, Paul Cheshire competed at many events for Team Falken with his heavily
modified 2JZ-GTE powered V35, notably at the Nürburgring Circuit in Germany.[11]

2005 and 2006 refreshes

The G35 sedan was refreshed inside and out for the 2005 model year and the coupe for the 2005 and 2006
model years. The interior was given sportier gauges with better backlighting and higher quality trim and knobs.
Genuine aluminum trim replaces "tinted" interior trim, and the dash and center console layout were revised.
Rosewood trim becomes available as a package on the 2005 models. MP3/WMA playback was added to the
now standard 6 disc in-dash CD player, and the cassette player was removed. Brembo brakes were removed for
the 2005 and 2006 models, and the brakes were redesigned with larger discs and a different caliper design. This
was partly in response to a number of complaints about the previous years' brakes, which included a class action
2006 Infiniti G35 coupe
lawsuit filed in California related to premature wear on 2003–2004 models.[12][13] A sport-tuned suspension
package was standard on all six-speed manual equipped models, which included a viscous limited slip
differential and the higher output VQ35DE "Rev-UP" engine. The 2006 models received minor updates. On the
exterior there were new headlights, taillights, spoiler, sport side sills, and front bumper.[14] Bluetooth capability
was added to the interior for hands-free phone use. Rear active steering was an option for the '06 coupe.

Fourth generation (V36; 2007)

The five-year development program for the V36 began in 2002, with conclusion in 2006 for the sedan G25, G35 and G37/ Q40 (V36)
and 2007 for the coupe. Design work started in 2003 and continued into 2004, when Hideo Komuro's
design was chosen for the sedan. The coupe design process was later completed in the first half of
2005, with a conceptual variant being readied for public introduction. The redesigned Infiniti G sedan
and coupe were introduced for the 2007 and 2008 model years, respectively. The fourth generation G
sedan was launched in November 2006 as a 2007 model with a heavily revised 3.5 L VQ35HR engine
and a 5-speed automatic as the standard transmission, a 6-speed manual was also available. The
redesigned second generation G coupe launched in August 2007 as a 2008 model with a larger 3.7 L
VQ37VHR, the first Infiniti engine to feature VVEL. It too came with either a 5-speed automatic or 6-
speed manual. All manual G models include a sport package. The 2009 G37 convertible was launched
in June 2009. The 2009 model G sedan followed suit using the same VQ37VHR engine. Also for 2009 Overview

touted by car magazines and reviewers as an
improvement over the VQ35HR engine mostly adding much more refinement and smoother engine operation, especially at high rpm where the
VQ35HR engine was frequently criticized for NVH and sounding strained, harsh and loud. The often criticized too aggressive clutch engagement,
notchiness of the 6-speed manual in the G35 and engine vibrations transferred through the shifter and pedals in the G35 6MT cars was also addressed in
the new G37 models.

All 2009 models came standard with Infiniti's new seven-speed automatic transmission that was also introduced
on the 2009 FX35 and FX50, updated from the previous five-speed transmission. The G37 Sedan or Coupe
could be equipped with a six-speed manual transmission by specifying the Sport 6MT model. The Base, Journey
and X models could not be ordered with manual transmissions, however the Sport Package included all sport
options of the 6MT model (excluding the manual transmission and the hand lever parking brake), and was
available for the Journey and X models.

The 2009 sport package (standard on Sport 6MT cars, optional on Journey and X models) now also included
larger sport brakes with 4-piston front/2-piston rear calipers with 14-inch (360 mm) ventilated front rotors and
13.8-inch (350 mm) ventilated rear rotors, a new sport wheel design 18-inch (460 mm) for the Sedan and 19- The 2009 Infiniti G37 Anniversary Art
inch (480  mm) on the Coupe, and Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD). The Sport Package on G37 x Project Vehicle
AWD Sedans does not include the larger opposed piston brakes, nor does it include the more aggressive steering
rack, VLSD, or sport tuned suspension (the same package for AWD Coupes includes everything from the RWD
version, save the more aggressive steering rack). Brakes on non-Sport models are front 13-inch (330 mm) ventilated discs and rear 13-inch (330 mm)
ventilated discs with sliding calipers. The G37 is available as G37, G37 Journey, G37S 6MT and G37x AWD models. Major option packages remain to
be the Premium Package, Sport Package, Nav Package, Tech Package. All 2009 models come standard with self healing "Scratch Shield" paint which
employs a soft polymer top coat that can self heal small scratches and swirl marks.

Even though the final drive ratio for vehicles equipped with the 7-speed automatic has been (numerically) reduced from 3.69 to 3.36, the new 7-speed
automatic has much lower first through fourth gear overall ratios than the old 5-speed automatic and the 6-speed manual in the 6MT cars (which retain
the old 3.69 final drive ratio). Giving it closer gear ratios in all gears, to match engine rpm better with power demand, brings better acceleration while
overdrive ratios in 6th and 7th gears reduces highway cruising rpm and improves fuel mileage. The new 7-speed automatic retains the Drive Sport (DS)
shift mode and Downshift Rev Matching (DRM) feature of the previous 5-speed automatic.[24] Paddle shifters are standard on G37S models equipped
with the 7-speed automatic. The new engine/transmission combo did add some weight the car (3,590 lb. for the G37 vs. 3,508 for the G35 in identical
trim).

The G37x Coupe uses an ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system.

The G37 coupe and sedan were set on sale in September 2008 as 2009 models.[25]

The G37x Coupe and G37 sedan were unveiled in the 58th annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.[26] Pictures of G37 convertible was first shown
in Monterey, while the vehicle itself would be unveiled in the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show in November.[27]

The 2009 Infiniti G37 Anniversary Art Project Vehicle - This is a version of G37 Sport Coupe inspired by Cirque du Soleil to commemorate
Infiniti's 20th anniversary. The vehicle was designed by Montreal artist Heidi Taillefer. The vehicle was set on tour at various Cirque du Soleil shows
and other events, with eventual vehicle sale at charity auction.[28]

2009-2013 G37 Convertible

G37 Convertible was introduced in June 2009 media release as a 2009

model on the V36 FM platform and is only from a design perspective
based on the G Coupe.[29]
The G Convertible came equipped with a
standard 325 hp (242 kW) 3.7-liter V6, backed by a choice of a 7-speed
automatic transmission with available magnesium paddle shifters or a
responsive close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. The G Convertible

Facelift

From November 2009, a facelift for the 2010 model year G Sedan
commenced production and went on sale in January 2010. Changes
include a revised fascia with fog lamps moved from the head light cluster
to the more traditional separate housings, a new grill for the sedan
mimicking the one from the coupe, a new optional navigation system for
both the coupe and sedan (revised from the optional system available 2010-2011 Infiniti G37 sedan
with the 2008 and 2009 G37s). Other minor changes included new (Germany)

Convertible (US) Several items that were options on the 2008 and 2009 models became
standard on the 2010 G37s.[30]

In a March 2010 comparison test by Car and Driver, the Infiniti G37 Convertible came in third place out of four cars in a convertible comparison behind
the BMW 328i and Audi A5.[31]

In July 2010, the Coupe and Convertible received a refresh for the 2011 model year.

Q40

The G-series was renamed Q40 for its final year. Other changes included a redesigned trunk lid emblem and
reduced body color options to four (Liquid Platinum, Graphite Shadow, Black Obsidian and Moonlight White).

Models for the United States went on sale for the 2015 model year. Early models included 3.7, 3.7 AWD.[32]
2010 model year refresh brought in
revised headlight shape, along with a
2011-2012 Infiniti G25 grille more similar to that of the
coupe variant.
Infiniti debuted the G25 sedan at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The G25 was powered by a 2.5 L V6 VQ25HR
producing 218 hp (163 kW) and 187 lb⋅ft (254 N⋅m) of torque. In a Motor Trend 2012 comparison the Infiniti
accelerated from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.5 seconds, over 2 seconds slower than the G37.[33] The G25's JDM relative, the Nissan Skyline 250 GT
Sedan which features the same engine, had been on sale for several years already.

Priced lower than the G37, the G25 was aimed to compete with entry-level luxury rivals such as the Lexus IS250, Audi A4 and BMW 328i. Compared
to the G37, other than a smaller engine and fewer options (no six-speed manual transmission available, no Navigation, no Premium or Technology
packages in the U.S. market), the G25 was otherwise identical and features a choice of rear-wheel drive or ATTESA all-wheel drive.

In 2012, the G25 was discontinued in the United States.

Infiniti Performance Line (IPL)

In July 2010 Infiniti released its new performance division, Infiniti Performance Line (IPL). The debut IPL
offering is the G37 Coupe for 2011 model year, and later the G37 Convertible. The IPL models featured a
retuned engine producing 348  hp (353  PS; 260  kW) at 7400 rpm and 276  lb⋅ft (374  N⋅m) at 5200 rpm of
torque.[34] Performance improvements included a redesigned exhaust system, sportier suspension tuning, as well
as a more direct steering feel. Design changes were made to the exterior including more aggressive front/rear 2011 Infiniti G37 Coupe IPL
bumpers and sideskirts, sportier 19 inch alloy wheels, and larger exhaust tips.[35] Inside, the G37 IPL has red
Monaco leather seats. The IPL G37 Coupe and Convertible are only available in Graphite Shadow gray metallic
and Malbec Black.
Like the regular models, the G37 IPL was also renamed Q60 IPL beginning 2014 model year.
